No — Vegetable oil by Asda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient listed is rapeseed oil, which is a basic culinary oil and considered a minimally processed single-ingredient food in the NOVA system. There are no additives, refined syrups, flavorings, or other industrial formulations present, so this product is not classified as ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
